In the mid 90s I would purchase men's jackets at second hand stores. I hired my friend Clare, who is a professional seamstress, to custom tailor theses men's jackets to a selling bolero formed women's fit. I would then stylize the jacket with vintage buttons and beads and other materials. I made several of these jackets and would give them as gifts to my friends. Today I still have some of the jackets and would like to feature them on my shop. Hope you find them interesting and if you have any questions just contact me.
